New Firmware: Sunvell T95Z Plus TV Box Amlogic S912 Octa Core:

[Jon Taylor]

Preety good I only install what repos I need. I thought tha android box maybe easier for the other half She gets fustrated with the Pi. Mainly want android for uk catch up apps.it does jam up now and again but I like messing so not too much of a problem. I think the t95z is quuite new so teething problems are still around, hopefully will get to the bottom of it. Will let you know if I find anything whilst truling the net for my issues.

[Jon Taylor]

These T95z is still quite new so hopefully we have more updates to come and these problems should get ironed out. Will keep my eye open whilst trawling the net.

Pi2 does pretty good job with Kodi for a £30 unit. Just the wife struggles a bit. Techno phobe lol.

I think I will give the T95Z back and get another TV Box with the "Force RGB" option.
Any ideas?

[Jon Taylor]

There are so many boxes out there to choose from, it took me a few days of seaching to settle on this one. Did look at a couple of other boxes leelbox q3 pro (905 chip) & the Nvidia but for a first box it was a tad expensive.

[DanielZanchi]

Yes but I need one with the Force RGB option. I want to be sure with the next one

Hello friends, I have a problem.
I have a Sunvell t95z that out of nowhere the image froze and it did not work anymore to turn it off and on again. I was wondering if I could do anything, and what I did was wipe data factory reset. Now call and the logo appears and it stops like this ... How do I get it back up and running? Sorry for my English but I'm Portuguese. Thank you

I've not had a WiFi problem but have had a difficult time uninstalling and clearing the data of the Kodi pre installed that is shipped with the box.

Hi all, I've just received one of these boxes and a Rii I8+ mini Bluetooth keyboard to go with it. The keyboard pairs with the box fine but then no input is registered when you press buttons.

My box is version 007. The keyboard works fine when paired with my phone which leads me to think its an issue with the T95z. Does anyone have any suggestions or similar experience?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Confusingly mine is the Bluetooth variant but comes with a dongle (presumably for those without onboard BT.

I have tried plugging the dongle on but it does absolutely nothing.

Connecting the keyboard directly to the box results in a connection but not registering any input. As I stated, I've tried pairing the keyboard with my phone (no dongle) and its worked fine.

I've even tried connecting it to my wife's phone (same marshmallow is as the t95z) and it worked perfectly yet again. Just seems like an issue with the software on this box.

Maybe a throwback to the old Jellybean BT bug?

Thanks to all. I was able to update my Kekilo T95Z Plus from 0003 to 0007.

Q: How can I program the physical remote control to turn on/off and vol +/- for the TV? I'm assuming their is a guide with the Mfg codes.

Additionally it's a "learning" remote that can control your TV!
a) Press and hold the blue TV power button for about 10 seconds
b) Light will go solid
c) Press the desired blue TV key to program (input / mute / vol- / vol+ / power) NB: circular arrow pad and OK button are NOT programmable for TV use, despite being blue
d) Light will begin flashing to indicate it's in learning mode
e) Point your own TV remote at this remotes transmitter (top IR)
f) Press the corresponding key on your TV remote (input / mute / vol- / vol+ / power)
g) Remote will flash briefly to indicate code has been "read", then go solid again ready for next key programming
h) Repeat (c) -> (g) for each key you want to program
i) Press the back arrow when finished
